This is a playthrough using Soul Edge in the Arcade game Soul Edge ver.2 (Asia region). Read on below for more information...

Soul Edge is the end boss in the game, and he is an unplayable character in this version of it.

===== SOUL EDGE'S STORY IN SOUL EDGE =====

From the Soul Calibur wiki:

"During the 16th century, Soul Edge mysteriously reappeared in a secret antique auction, using its shape-shifting powers to become two blades instead of one. The swords were obtained by an English curio dealer, whose ship was attacked by the dreaded pirate Cervantes de Leon. Possessed by the will of the wicked swords, Cervantes slew the crew of the ship and then slaughtered the population of a Spanish port-town, where he stayed the next twenty-five years, waiting for the birth of the "Child of the Cursed Sword".

But then a holy warrior sent by Hephaestus, Sophitia Alexandra, confronted him and was able to destroy the smaller of the two blades. Cervantes, enraged, defeated Sophitia and nearly ki1led her, but was stopped and ki1led by a demon huntress named Taki."

===== DESIGN IN SOUL EDGE =====

His design comprises of him being an aura of flames for his body with a skeletal skull for his head. As he "takes over" Cervantes' body, it results in him wearing some of the latter's attire.

===== GAMEPLAY =====

In Soul Edge, he is basically a more powerful version of Cervantes. As well as having Cervantes' moveset, he has a few additional moves and some changes.

===== OTHER INFORMATION / TRIVIA =====

---- In single-player mode, if you beat the game with him, the game will crash because he doesn't have an ending programmed in.

---- In this version of game, he uses Cervantes' voices. In the PS1 version of the game, he has a unique voice.

---- Being an unplayable character, he does not have any other colour palettes nor costumes.

---- Unlike in version 1 of the game, some of his moves use up his sword gauge power.

---- When controlled by a human player, you do not seem to be able to perform his immediate/instant Dread Slash.

---- When controlled by a human player, you do not seem to be able to perform his faster Dread Slash after Dread Charge.

---- When controlled by a human player, when you perform his Dread Slash (after Dread Charge), you use up some of the weapon gauge. When he is CPU-controlled, he does not use up any weapon gauge when he does this move.

---- When he is CPU-controlled, the CPU can perform a move where he "feints" slashes by holding his left sword up slightly (with the aura) and quickly moving left and right. I don't think it is possible for a human player to do this with Soul Edge.

---- As a non-selectable character, his icon image cannot and will never appear on the character select screen.

---- He is known as Inferno in the future games of the series.

---- He is one of the "originals" of the Soul series, as he appeared in the very first game.
